You know me as former @NiagaraFallsUSA mayor, but before that I was #armoredwarfare expert, #CFR fellow, US State Dept #NST negotiator, #CUA #Pentagon program director, etc. Resurrecting old ID to stand with #Ukraine today. #BillsMafia

.@SarahAMatthews1 to the chair of the new task force on eliminating fraud: "Maybe a good place to start would be looking into why the president keeps pardoning those convicted of fraud...Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 donors, allies, and others convicted of fraud."

To honor President Jefferson, Congress erected the Jefferson Memorial. To honor President Lincoln, Congress erected the Lincoln Memorial. To honor President Kennedy, Congress erected the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. No president, no board of directors, can change the names or send in a wrecking crew under the guise of “repairs.” Stand down, President Trump. You are no king, and you don’t have the power. Only Congress can change that. npr.org/2026/03/26/nx-…

Fact checking fraud claims: Heritage Foundation documented 1,620 cases of voter fraud from 1982-2025, including 100 cases of noncitizens voting. That's about 0.000008% of more than 1.3 billion votes cast in presidential elections in that time. @YLindaQiu nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/…

Congratulations to all Americans who dared to take to the streets today and publicly expressed their stance and disagreement with the actions and policies of their president. #WeSayNoKings 👍👍👍

HOLY CRAP! Look at Chicago right now. Chicago is really mad at the king wannabe. NO KINGS!

Bruce Springsteen is currently playing to a #NoKings crowd of over 200,000 people in Saint Paul Minnesota right now! Trump is using government to hurt people who disagree. That is what kings do to scare others. We will not be scared. We will not be silent.

NO ICE NO KINGS NO RANCH ON WINGS 🤣 #NOKINGS BUFFALO

When I travel outside of Ukraine, I get daily intelligence updates online. This morning, I was briefed that U.S. military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran. On March 24th, they imaged the U.S.–UK joint military facility on Diego Garcia located in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. They also captured pictures of Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field. On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, İncirlik Air Base in Türkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th. There are no Ukrainian facilities on this list. But who is helping whom when sanctions are lifted from an aggressor that earns daily revenue and provides intelligence for strikes against American, Middle Eastern, UK, and U.S.–UK bases and so on? When surveillance is carried out over facilities in Ukraine, we always understand that they must be protected, since plans are in motion to destroy them – energy and water infrastructure, military facilities, and so on. Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes. How can sanctions be eased if this is what the Russians are doing? There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. It looks strange. Sanctions are being lifted, while the aggressor is providing intelligence to strike facilities, including those of the countries that are discussing or have already lifted sanctions. From my conversation with journalists (3/3).

Maternity ward in Odesa. Again. The hardest was evacuating newborn twins on ventilators. When Russian Shaheds attacked, doctors moved 33 pregnant women and 19 newborns to safety in a bomb shelter. Then helped put out the fire.

🚨 WATCH: Robert De Niro marches in NYC “No Kings” protest alongside AG Leticia James and Rev. Al Sharpton while moving down 7th Avenue in Manhattan.

While Putin is helping Iran attack U.S. military bases in the Middle East, Members of Congress are welcoming Russian lawmakers into the Capitol for a private tour and meeting in @SpeakerJohnson’s office.   At a moment when American service members are in harm’s way, that contradiction demands scrutiny.    We should be focused on protecting our troops and advancing our national security — not offering a platform or credibility to those aligned with our adversaries.  thehill.com/policy/interna…

@McFaul @HS_Akechi Any Republicans 🇺🇸 in the room?

Secretary Rubio, your administration has not played the role of a neutral mediator. You said Ukraine could not join NATO. Gift to Putin. You cut aid to Ukraine. Gift to Putin. Why not try to change Putins position in return for these concessions instead of just communicating his preferences to Kyiv?

Give your key defenses and fortress cities to Russia which has been unable to take them in 12 years of fighting, and then we who are acting to strengthen Russia will pretend to help you protect the rest of your country. This is shameful, rotten, and stinks of corruption.

(1/10) @realDonaldTrump cited me as supporting his attack on Iran and expressing regret we didn’t do it during the Biden Administration. Except I didn’t.

US contributions of military and financial assistance took place during Biden administration. As Rubio knows, US has provided Ukraine no new military or financial assistance since Trump took office.

Today, President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush welcomed Ukrainian First Lady Mrs. Olena @ZelenskaUA to the Bush Center. “We admire your country’s bravery and ingenuity,” said President George W. Bush. “We want the people of Ukraine to know that we continue to stand with America’s ally, Ukraine. You are fighting for freedom, and I believe you will prevail.”  Ukraine’s defense against an unprovoked full-scale invasion from Vladimir Putin has now entered its fifth year. Vladimir Putin is responsible for the gravest security crisis on the European continent since World War II. The Bush Institute continues to believe that now is the time to stop him – and to do so, the U.S. must continue its support of Ukraine.

Disgraceful if true that #US conditions security guarantees for #Ukraine on Kyiv ceding unoccupied territory to #Russia.

Ukraine has been winning back territory the last 3 months. It is wrong for the Administration to push Ukraine to give land not in Russian control to Russia as part of a peace agreement. This is appeasement and rewards the invader. What happened at Sudetenland in 1938?

🚨 One letter. Two signatures. Zero tolerance for funding Russia. @RepGregoryMeeks and @RepDonBacon sent a joint letter to Bessent and Rubio demanding answers on one thing: Why is the U.S. easing sanctions on Russian oil - right now? Right when Ukraine is advancing. Right when Russia is sharing drone tech with Iran to target U.S. forces. Right when Moscow needs cash the most. This isn't about politics. This is about funding an aggressor at the worst possible moment. Meeks and Bacon are asking the right questions. Congress needs to hear more voices like theirs. 📌 Sanctions must stay. 👉 amukr.org/do-not-lift-sa… 📰 Source: spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snplus/news… #StandUpWithUkraine #SupportUkraine #SanctionRussia #RussianWar #RussianWarInUkraine
